My 3rd grade daughter just started ISTEP testing this week, so to try and give her a different protein source for her breakfast than the standard scrambled eggs, I tried something different!

Last weekend I gave a trial run of this recipe that I’ll call a Quick & Tangy Egg Muffin. It uses Salsa Me Krazy which is a sweet, tangy salsa that uses all-natural, American-grown ingredients and no artificial preservatives.

The “quick” part of the recipe is that I cooked the egg in the microwave (What?! I know!!). Not that eggs take a long time in the skillet, but to make a great round little egg patty for the sandwich, it just works so well this way.

Using a 1-cup round glass dish (I use this Pyrex one), spray the bottom with non-stick cooking spray. Crack egg and scramble with fork in glass dish. Add in 1-2 tsp milk, if desired. Cook uncovered for 1 minute on high in the microwave. You’ll notice it puffs up, then lays back down in a lumpish sort of way, kind of like how I feel on Mondays:

Toast your English muffin and spread with a little butter. Lay the egg on the bottom, top with Salsa Me Krazy and sprinkle with cheese.

I don’t really know, but figured I should still include that in a disclaimer so you don’t come after me if your kid scores poorly. See my disclosure policy for more information.

Oh, that looks yummy! I’ve also been serving up extra protein this week (including an egg this morning for my 3rd grader). We always add Salsa and Mexican spices to our eggs. Your comment about Mondays was funny, too. 🙂

I like to make eggs for my McMuffins in the microwave too (although I haven’t done it in awhile so thanks for the reminder!). I put it in my small/medium ramekins though and put the egg in whole and just use a fork to poke the yolk a few times and they always turn out fine.
